Photos: Baby Born 'Pregnant' With His Twin Brother

A baby boy was born 'pregnant' with his own twin brother. Doctors discovered the half-formed male baby - complete with a brain, arm and legs - behind the otherwise-healthy baby boy's stomach after he was born.

They successfully operated to remove the 7cm mass, which they suspect was a rare 'foetus in fetu' twin pregnancy - one of around 200 ever recorded in the world.

Radiologist Dr Bhavna Thorat, who spotted the problem during a routine scan, said: 'It was inside a fetal sac of the newborn.'
